League: I really didn't tank!

End-of-volume summary (First title secured, time to pounce!!!!)

With that, Season 6 has come to an end, and so has Volume 1.

As the protagonist's first championship, this is naturally a separate volume, representing the rise of the greatest man in history.

At the end of the volume, I'd like to casually mention something: I usually enjoy reading authors' individual chapters where they discuss their thoughts. I wonder if you guys like that too.

To be honest, I really breathed a sigh of relief when I wrote this, because this book is definitely the one with the best history score of mine, even more than ten times higher than the previous ones.

Because of this achievement, I feel pressure all the time. I'm afraid that I haven't written a certain point well, or that I haven't updated enough to satisfy the readers.

But judging from the results, I can still say I deserve this achievement.

This book was released on December 23, 2022, and has been updated for a total of 89 days, with 798266 words added, averaging 8970 words per day, which rounds up to 9000.

Moreover, this is because I didn't have time to write during the Chinese New Year holiday and was a bit of a slack off for a while. In fact, excluding the Chinese New Year period, my average word count is over 10,000.

Moreover, over these nearly three months, my subscriptions have been steadily increasing, from the initial subscription of 2200 to the current 3800 in 24-hour real-time subscriptions.

The increasing number of subscriptions means that the plot of my book is reasonably reasonable. There are definitely problems, but at least not many.

The average daily subscription has also increased from 2000 when it was first released to 11000 now. It is also the eleventh book in the Qidian Alliance to reach 10,000 subscriptions. Thank you so much for your support, brothers. I kowtow to you ten times.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!

In addition, let me answer a few more questions from readers.

Throughout this writing process, I've often been asked by people, "Is the protagonist a complete waste? How can he not win every match despite having cheat codes?"

Then I really want to say that this is, after all, a team game, and teammates' performance will always fluctuate; no one can guarantee that they will always win.

Even a high-ranking player can lose to a low-ranking player.

Moreover, based on the underlying logic of this book, it is not actually an invincible novel.

Personally, I think that if the protagonist is written to be too invincible, readers will easily get tired of it, so it needs to be toned down appropriately.

Of course, there were some plot points that I didn't handle very well, and that was my mistake. But if you asked me to do it again, I would definitely handle them better, though. I have my own rhythm for it.

At this point, someone might say, "If you're not writing an invincible story, why are you giving the protagonist such a huge power-up?"

I have to say, if you don't use the cheat codes a lot, nobody will watch.

I really want to write a non-invincible novel without a system, but such novels are not popular in the early stages, and I don't have a reader base. If I start writing, it will most likely be a flop.

However, I've managed to build up a readership with this book, so maybe I can try that for my next book.

Finally, and this is the question most people have asked: "Isn't the golden finger in this book supposed to be 'playing it easy'? Why is the whole book about competitions?"

Here I can explain:

The "golden finger" in this book was actually set up quite meticulously; I even deliberately downplayed its presence.

Although the protagonist gained a lot of attribute boosts through the system, in reality, it was all achieved through his own hard work, shooting headshots one by one.

Therefore, the focus of my book is not "giving up". The focus is still on the competition. Giving up is just a gimmick to attract readers to click and read.

This is a matter of my personal writing style. If you asked me to write about the game briefly and the off-field details like other authors of League of Legends novels, I wouldn't be able to capture that feeling.

Besides that, I also have a little personal experience to share. When I was writing my second book on jungling, I learned a lesson: don't write about exciting moments that you can't write for long.

From my personal perspective, if the protagonist keeps giving up and then goes on a rampage while questioning others, it might be fun in the early stages, but what happens after four or five cycles?

Actually, you'll get tired of this exciting part very quickly, and the subscription rate will inevitably drop. But since your cheat code only allows you to give up, you can only grit your teeth and continue writing this loop. But what awaits you is a decrease in the number of readers day after day.

My second jungler game was a similar case. The protagonist's cheat ability was to become stronger by talking a lot. While talking a lot might be interesting at the beginning, what happens when you run out of ideas and people to talk to?

When you run out of plot points, readers' expectations become misaligned, and the reading experience will start to fall apart.

Therefore, I think that only by focusing on the competition from the very beginning can we ensure that readers' expectations are not misaligned and that the writing can last.

The continued growth in readership proves that my approach has its merits.

Anyway, to get back to the point, the tone I set for this first volume is "a serious road to victory," and winning the first championship will definitely require some hardship.

Personally, I feel that I did a pretty good job with the overall tone. The protagonist, carrying everyone's expectations, defeated all his opponents and became the FMVP.

As for the next volume, the tone will be lighter, since the protagonist has already won the championship in the darkest era and won the FMVP, so the road ahead should be bright and smooth.

I simply call it "The daily rampage of a do-poor academic genius".

I will focus on emphasizing the terms "tanking" and "running away".

That's right, this book is about to get really exciting.

After this World Championship ends, the protagonist will receive honor points, and their attributes will be greatly improved again, with the key point being "slaughter".

In my first year, I focused on "seriousness," so the heroes I picked for the top lane all conformed to the basic principles.

But in the second year, the protagonist became invincible, and some strange top lane heroes would be picked.

At the same time, the system will also launch a brand new module that will emphasize the word "give up".

As for what the new module is, you guys can look forward to it. All I can say is that there will be more collaborations with other games.

This was something I planned from the beginning, specifically to save for use after the first championship. Of course, the main focus of the competition will remain unchanged.

Alright, I've already written two thousand words. Including today's main text update, that's roughly ten thousand words a day.

That's all I have to say. Goodnight, brothers.

Okay, lastly, let me mention the title of the second volume.

As I just mentioned, the content of this first volume represents the rise of the first person in history.

The content of this second volume represents the path taken by the first person in history to establish a dynasty, so the second and third crowns will be written in the same volume.

So, the title of the last volume is: "Imperial ambitions and conquests are discussed in jest; nothing beats a life of drunken revelry."
